If you use the API, you need to display the data on a public map. If
you don't use the API, the Maps TOU apply (rather than the API TOU)
and your use -- which I presume to be internal business use -- is
apparently allowed. You can get KML output, but not straight XML.

I am not a lawyer. You should satisfy yourself about the legality of
using a URL like that server-side. I would have recommended including
the copyright data in your output (even internally), but it doesn't
appear that the KML includes it.
